2 ASRJC JC2 PRELIMS 2021 9729/03/H2 Section A Answer all the questions from this section. 1 (a) SiH4, PH3 and H2S are three compounds whose central atoms in their molecules are elements in Period 3 of the Periodic Table. (i) State and explain the bond angles in the molecules of these three compounds. [4] (ii) In this question, you may assume that phosphorus and hydrogen have the same electronegativity. Draw the three molecules, SiH4, PH3 and H2S and indicate for each one the polarity of each of the bonds it contains and the overall polarity of the molecule. [4] (iii) State the properties of a gas necessary for it to approach ideal behavior. [2] (iv) Of the three gases at 400 K, the behaviour of SiH4 is closest to ideal gas behavior. Suggest why H2S deviate more from ideal behaviour than SiH4.
